Fort Hubberstone

Fort Hubberstone

Fort Hubberstone, on the west side of Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, was started in 1858 just before the Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom; it was completed in 1863. It is a large battery opposite Popton Fort,with eleven guns in casemates, eight in an open battery above, with another nine in an open flank battery, and a large barracks to the rear. On a good site, the fort has fallen into disrepair. The current owners had plans to restore the structure, but these have fallen through.

This place is often spelled 'Hubberston Fort' like the area of Milford Haven that it is located in.
